Come discover the regenerative power of mindful engagement with nature with certified forest therapy guide Stephanie Campbell. The Japanese tradition of Shinrin-Yoku, forest bathing, is a practice using all your senses to connect with nature. Many studies have found it to help decrease stress, increase immune system functioning and improve concentration, creativity and mood. In a slow-paced, two-hour session, Stephanie will offer a sequence of gentle invitations designed to help you immerse yourself in a deeper connection with nature, ending with a forest-based tea.
